Summary

Description

The Firestone Destination M/T tire is built for the pickup truck, jeep and SUV driver who wants the ultimate off-road traction out of their tire – maximum traction for all seasons. Featuring an aggressive, 23-degree attack angle, wide wraparound lugs and special tread element shapes and angles, this tire helps provides maximum grip and pulling power in the mud. The Destination M/T tire is built with damage prevention features such as a Dura-Loc 3-ply sidewall construction for additional sidewall support and long-link carbon reinforcement to improve treadwear and help resist cracking, chipping and tearing – perfect for handling those tough, off-road terrains. These maximum traction tires handle well in wet and dry road conditions, but they feel more at home in the mud, dirt, rocks and other off-road conditions.

Computer optimized component system (Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction).
Ll carbon (Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure).
O-bead (Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction).
Rim guard (Protects wheels from curb damage through raised rubber ridge).
Dura-loc (Provides outstanding resistance to on and off highway hazards using 3 polyester body plies and a high-strength tie-in construction).
Mud and off-road traction (Wide wraparound lugs and special tread element shapes and angles help deflect road hazards from the shoulder areas as well as improve self-cleaning in mud and snow conditions).
